Custom Cursor W/ Fixed Y Coordinate

[MattyG]

This probably is a no brainer…

I am hiding the cursor and draging a movie clip after clicking on a button.

How would I make this movie clip move along the x axis only?

function loadCoin() {
    Mouse.hide();
    startDrag("loadedCoin", true);
}

function loadCoin() {
    Mouse.hide();
    onMouseMove = function(){
		loadedcoin._x = _xmouse;
		updateAfterEvent();
	}
}

ActionScript Code:
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT][COLOR=#000000]**function**[/COLOR] loadCoin[COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000FF]Mouse[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]hide[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
[COLOR=#0000FF]onMouseMove[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]**function**[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]

        loadedcoin.[COLOR=#0000FF]_x[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#0000FF]_xmouse[/COLOR];
        updateAfterEventCOLOR=#000000[/COLOR];
    [COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
[/LEFT]
[/FONT]

This did the trick! :hugegrin:

One more question. Say I want to click on a button. On release I’d like the object attached to my mouse to get dropped off right where I click. So it wouldn’t follow the mouse after the button is clicked.

Any suggestion on how to accomplish this?

Thanks

function loadCoin() {
    Mouse.hide();
    onMouseMove = function(){
        loadedcoin._x = _xmouse;
        updateAfterEvent();
    }
}
function unloadCoin() {
    Mouse.show();
    delete onMouseMove;
}
button.onPress = unloadCoin;
